I have always been fascinated by the CSS Hunley. I saw it some years ago not long after restoration began. I went to visit the Graves of the crew at Magnolia Cemetery. I wept for them.
There Was a much larger 20 man sub of the union army the uss alligator ,it was designed by a Frenchman who had taught jules vern possibly inspiring 20,000 league's under the sea. The sub had a divers lock and carbon dioxide scrubber, the sub was lost while being towed by the sumpter during a storm off Cape hatters (it was unmanned at the time).
Please be aware that the photo of "General Winfield Scott" you show is actually General Winfield Scott Hancock, a totally different individual named for the older General Scott.
That's interesting. I've been following the Hunley story since its raising in 2000. I've been to the location of the Hunley in Charleston. I believed that the first launched version sunk in rough seas, rather than your version, that it was INTENTIONALLY sunk to avoid its being acquired by the Union Army. Where did you get that fact?
You’ve got the right name, but the wrong picture. General Winfield Scott was a general in the Mexican War who devised the plan to blockade the southern ports, but the picture you used is that of General Winfield Scott Hancock, a general who fought in the American Civil War.
crpdst2003 is correct. The beginning photo is wrong. That's a photo of General Winfield Scott Hancock, who was named after General Winfield Scott. It was General Scott who advanced the idea of a blockade.
Whynot a small snorkel or compressed air and a steam driven shaft. Why not Henry Repeating Rifles and small rifled cannon for surface attack at close range? Why not use sticky bombs from tar pasted onto the whole fleet at night with tiny subarines built and painted in black. I don't know, I wasn't there, but this sub must have taught everyone they were coming.
Nice "little documentary"; BUT it's not Cussler's team and the NUMA, that found the wreck in april 1995, but E Lee. Spence of the Sea Research Society, in 1970, the site was cartographied in 1971 by him and the wreck site was also registred by the National Park Service in the NRHP list, in 13rd september 1976 ! Since we have recovered and analysed the submarine wreck, we know the fack that's the CSS Hunley crew members can't have maid surfaces and signal "Misson accomplished" with the green light, simply because at this moment, they're all dead, killed by the "blast" of the gun powder's torpedo, so this fact was just a "propaganda legend " because in true, they don't need to signal Mission Accomplished because the flash and sound of the explosion of the Housatonic was seen from Charleston, the night moreover ! The CSS Hunley was actually since the 08th august 2000 in restoration, at Warren Lasch Conservation Center. THe remains of the crew members was engraved in the Magnolia Cemetery of Charleston, the 17th april 2004.
A well made documentary of the history of "CSS. H.L. HUNLEY" Was there any evidence of damage to the bow of the sub, due to the impact of the harpoon hitting the hull of the "USS. HOUSATONIC" causing the sub to flood? Or was it a lack of oxygen. There may be 1 hour of oxygen for all the crew but take in mind the only light they had were candles. Using those would use up at least 30% of oxygen in less time. And tha crew hand cranking the prop, they would use up more. A sad end to an heroic act.
what's up SAVICKE. pay attention students. most influential video of high school right here
- JHS '24
Me and my father marched in the funeral procession through Charleston. Finally going to see it in 3 weeks
Great documentary sir. Chock-full of information.
R.I.P to all the brave men lost on both sides 🙏
HONOR AND GLORY !! MARINER' S OF THE HUNLEY AND HOUSATONIC
OSCAR , I ' FROM BS.AS. ARGENTINA
Over all, a most interesting history video. Thanks.
Thanks for posting this video. Genuinely interesting.

RIP to the crew of the Hunley

love the video my friend, thanks bill, tim.
Love the animation. Well done!
I like this video, my history teacher showed me and the class this video
You're right. I corrected it in a later video called "The H. L, Hunley Story Revised".
Several people noticed that the wrong Scott was shown. Thanks.
Love the story about Hunley. I didn't know the story about Lucky Gold of Lt. Dixson. It is very interesting story !
great video. thank you. :)
Please be aware that the photo of "General Winfield Scott" you show is actually General Winfield Scott Hancock, a totally different individual named for the older General Scott.
Yes, you are right. Several people have found this error. The correct picture is in the video "The H.L. Hunley Story Revised". Thanks.
+Robert Kreutzer well how about that. this may not be the first time.
Robert Kreutzer Was just gonna say that.
@@bkendall41 haven't seen that one
Bravo! What a fascinating story!
The gold coin makes for an interesting story.
I never knew there was a full length TV movie on the Hunley. Wish I knew where to find it!
Here is IMDB's url
: www.imdb.com/title/tt0162897/
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Hunley
+coastie13697 yuo bet, I had a VHS. Armand Asante I think was the name of the actor.
+coastie13697 It's on amazon

Very Interesting
Cool animation.
Lasch recently discovered the torpedo was bolted to the spar and therefore exploded on contact, like the CSS David.
thank you
Seems like a torpedo launched from land would have sunk many ships...the movie starring Peter O"Toole has him sending off a torpedo from the shore.
My daughter thought the “Hunley” sank the “Titan” ship lmao. I told her it sank from an ice burg like the titanic and she was so embarrassed😂
i love this video
Hard to believe this all happened 1/2 a mile from where I’m sitting at work right now….
An exceptionally fine production in all respects. I can only imagine all the work that went into making this video.
I thought the first sub to sink a ship was in the American revolution called the turtle
You’ve got the right name, but the wrong picture. General Winfield Scott was a general in the Mexican War who devised the plan to blockade the southern ports, but the picture you used is that of General Winfield Scott Hancock, a general who fought in the American Civil War.
@0:20 - That's Winfield Scott Hancock, not Winfield Scott. They're not related
God bless them.
@the29thtn The video has been revised and is called "The H. L. Hunley Story revised".
You are right. The correct picture of General Scott can be found by searching "Anaconda Plan" on Google.
Please S#$T CAN the background music. I didn't watch the video because I couldn't hear the narration.
They should have buried Lieutenant Dixon's gold coin with his remains...
Hello. I'm from Mexico and I'm interested in the movie but since it's quite obscure even in America .
You need to go to the "Friends of the Hunley" website to see the recovered sub and perhaps answer some of your questions.
Been on it before
crpdst2003 is correct. The beginning photo is wrong. That's a photo of General Winfield Scott Hancock, who was named after General Winfield Scott. It was General Scott who advanced the idea of a blockade.
That actually was his name
HL Hunley was a very neat ship May her brave crew rest in peace.
Brave men all.
My ancestors were traced back to the Hunley (that is my last name)
or did you just assume that because your last name is Hunley?
Or did you just assume that she assume that because ..... ?
Can't you all just agree to be assholes?
Susan
I hope they found the Gold piece, that would be the worth a lot.
They did
I am here to make notecards and the closed captions XD
I don't know what you mean.
Bill Kendall The closed captions are weird

Where was this first submarine built???
Probably in New Orleans, but I don't know the exact location.
@@pbkendall The Pioneer was built in New Orleans, same with the American Diver, but the Hunley was made in Mobile, Alabama.

The image is of Winfield Scott Hancock - not Winfield Scott.. .Jesus!
Sea to shining sea music? They were Confederate not Union.
They were still Americans.
How is it possible that they signaled when the explosion kill them instantly from the vibration that's how they died so that signal is a lie
Winfield Scott my ass. Winfield Scott Hancock of Gettysburg fame maybe....
YOU SAID 1961.
1861 o seated liberty half dollars.
The Hunley was the first successful attack sun of history
She was the first Confederate combat sub suessful
Successful
Thats General Hancock not the 300 lb. virginian Scott....
you have your dates wrong the war was the day George Dickson was shot in the leg in shioh but queenie Bennett coin saved him that day was April 6 1862
Hi
Hey
Hello too all. peace
my ancestors
"Hunley"
I think d commentator must Eat,,Sup number,5 very slow to talk
A well made documentary of the history of "CSS. H.L. HUNLEY" Was there any evidence of damage to the bow of the sub, due to the impact of the harpoon hitting the hull of the "USS. HOUSATONIC" causing the sub to flood? Or was it a lack of oxygen. There may be 1 hour of oxygen for all the crew but take in mind the only light they had were candles. Using those would use up at least 30% of oxygen in less time. And tha crew hand cranking the prop, they would use up more. A sad end to an heroic act.
Yes a massive hole at the hule
I would love to have the gold coin
Didn't know that the Hunley was operational in "1961"....yuk-yuk!
+bryant tillman now now
You are right. Check out the revised video at ua-cam.com/video/4H_SnhBf04U/v-deo.html
I corrected that in my revised version.
